## Resource

Scientists have discovered Earth’s oldest known meteorite impact, a three-billion-year-old crater in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, rewriting our understanding of planetary violence during Earth’s infancy. Using advanced analysis of recrystallized zircon and fracture-formed apatite, researchers confirmed the event’s age with unprecedented clarity—older than the previous record holder by 800 million years. This pristine “time capsule” reveals a turbulent early Earth, still waterlogged, dimly lit, and teeming with stromatolites, offering rare, tangible proof of cosmic collisions that shaped our planet’s earliest history.
